The antistatic system (AS)
The friction of material running through the
suction hose causes electrostatic charges, which
can result in unpleasant electric shocks for the
operator.
In order to prevent this, this dust extractor has
an integrated antistatic system which conducts
these static charges to ground. This requires the
use of antistatic hoses and accessories.
Temperature control
A heat-triggered limit switch turns off the dust
extractor if it reaches a critical temperature, to
protect against overheating. If this happens,
switch the dust extractor off and let it cool for
around 5 minutes. If the dust extractor still
cannot be switched back on, consult a Festool
service center.
After finishing work
- Switch off the dust extractor and unplug the
power cord.
-Empty filter bag and tank.
-Place the suction hose (5.1) and the power cord
(5.2) in the top section.
-Clean the dust extractor inside and outside by
vacuuming and wiping.
-Leave the dust extractor in a dry area out of
reach of unauthorized persons.
Filters and accessories
The accessory and filter order number can be
found in your Festool catalog or on the Internet
at www.festool-usa.com.
Maintenance and care
Always unplug the power cord
from the plug socket before doing any
maintenance!
Do not attempt any maintenance
or repairs involving opening the motor housing.
This may be carried out only by an authorized
customer service center.
A safety test must be performed
at least once a year by the manufacturer or a
qualified person, to check for possible leaks and
damage to the filter, and to ensure that the
control devices are functioning.
